Naina POV

Amrit and Nimrit are helping the gardeners plant the roses. Next month is my 18th Birthday, Everyone is busy with the celebration preparation. Had Sanju been here, she would happen been so excited. She always loved it when our birthday was near. She always said that her Prince would kiss her on her eighteenth birthday.

"Nainu, did you pack your bag? Your father has asked Amelia to fly the plane to Illea. Is it necessary for you to go to Illea?

Yes Mom. Aunt America invited me. So did Eadlyn. Sanju would want me to go.

"Okay. Your Physiotherapist is here. She will come with you to Illea."

Mom, tell her to go. I am fine on the wheelchair. Italy too does not mind that their queen's on a wheelchair.

Oh by the way, I forgot to say. I am paralysed waist down. This happened three years after my Sanjana died. She took a part of me with her. I still remember the day, it was the day before our 10th birthday. We were all in Illea when Mom got a call that the plane had crashed and that no one had survived. That was the last day my mother, May Sighania ever stepped in the Illean palace. She lets me go only when I used Sanju's name.

"By the way King Viren has invited you to join his son Vikram's selection. Your father accepted it. So after this you are going to their palace."

What do they want with a wheelchair ridden princess who has no hope?

"Naina Sighania, your sister passed away 8 years ago but remember that the rest of us need to continue living. Do you understand?"

Oh I do mom. But I don't want to live like you. Like a living zombie. Have you looked at yourself? Are you even fit to be a queen?

"Naina, that shall be ENOUGH. Is that the way to speak to your mother? Go to the plane waiting for you and leave. We will talk about it when you return from Bharata." My dad shouted at me while holding onto my weeping mother.

I felt bad for her. But I could not take my words back sadly.

Amelie POV

I was waiting in the plane from Italy to Illea. King Raj had been kind enough to let me go to Illea with his daughter Naina who was also going to participate in the selection.

A girl just then stormed in on a wheelchair. Must be a runaway.

Hey. How may I help you?

"What are you doing in my plane? I will call the guards immediately."

Wait I am Her Serene Highness Princess Amelie Mignonette Grace deWolfe-Labelle of the Royal House Of Labelles. Heir to the French throne.

" So then what are you doing here."

I could ask you the same question, you know.

"I am Princess Naina Sighania. Do you have a short name cause I only caught the Princess bit?"

Oh I go by the name Amelie. Pleased to meet you. Your kind father invited me to accompany you.

"Oh, I am so sorry. I thought you were a rebel."

That's fine. By the way, why do you look so upset.

"Oh that I kinda fought with my mom."

Oh my. Why?

"Well she wanted me to go to the physiotherapy and I did not.

Why don't you?

I guess you don't know my story. Well a long story short, I am the sister of Sanjana Sighania.

Isn't she the one who died 8 years ago?

Yeah. I no longer wish to live in this world.

But why, do you think your sister would be happy hearing this.

Leave me alone for some time.

The princess Naina went to her room on the plane. Soon behind her came a maid. Must be to help her. Poor girl. I remember mom telling me her story.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAh. It's hurting. Alice do something."

"I am trying your highness."

I ran towards the room. Naina was holding her leg and screaming. I massaged her foot yet she was screaming. I and the maid helped her to the bed and put some ointment after sometime she was okay.

"Your highness, should I inform your father?" asked Alice.

"No, he will worry. He will not let me go."

She then turned to me.

"I guess I should tell you about it. Well it started sometime back, I started getting injured without explanation. We went to many doctors but there was no cure. I just suffer the pain till it disappears."

Are you okay now?

"Yeah I am feeling better but there is a lingering pain. Thank you very much. Shall we watch some TV?"

She patted on the space next to her. I went and sat and we watched my favourite movie The Parent Trap. Naina said it was her favourite movie. It reminded her of her and her sister. We laughed and gossiped about how difficult it was being princesses.

I guess I found a good friend even before I reached the selection.

In another plane, all the passengers were surrounding a queen and another girl who had just hit her foot against the door. She was bawling in pain. The princes and princess looked very sad. All the selected were worried about her.
